——Matsue Shigure obtained important information from Akabane Subaru’s USB flash drive!

Matsuda Jinpei immediately turned to Onizuka Hachizo and asked repeatedly, "Where is the USB flash drive? And what about revenge? Instructor, please tell me!"

Onizuka Hachizo stared at him: "Why do you think I know that?"

He was shocked too!

He always thought that Songjiang Shigure was autistic, but he didn't expect that he would go to the other extreme!

Matsuda Jinpei immediately made a "tsk" sound and asked unwillingly, "Instructor Songjiang usually doesn't do anything?"

Onizuka Hachizo recalled for a long while, and still shook his head: "I don't know..."

"After Songjiang became silent, I didn't have much contact with him. He was either on a mission or on his way to a mission." Onizuka Yazo said, "Later, he came to the police academy to teach, and most of his thoughts were still on you."

"Speaking of revenge plans..."

Hagiwara Kenji flipped back the diary and read out clearly: "October 31, rain."

【October 31, rain】

There is so much work to do in the Explosion Team that it is a bit too much for one person to handle it all. Cooking is also troublesome... It would be nice if I could skip meals. Logically, I won't starve to death if I don't eat, right?

There are too few clues about that organization. The information in the USB flash drive may be useful, but I can't hand it over directly now. I have to think of a way. *

What kind of nonsense is it that you can't die of hunger? !

Onizuka Hachizo couldn't help but frown: "Could that bastard have starved himself to death so early?!"

"organization!"

Leaving aside Hachizo Onizuka, the other three people all had the same answer in their minds.

Their colleague, Rei Furutani, was currently working undercover in a dark organization, and that organization... had already swallowed up one of their most important partners.

They immediately moved closer, trying to find a more detailed answer from those few short lines.

****

System: "Here we go, revenge! - By the way, why didn't I remember you were hungry?"

Matsue Shigure couldn't help but complain: "Isn't it because you think it's too embarrassing to tear up the card because you're hungry? I just wrote it casually, anyway, I didn't know if anyone would read it... So why do you make this game so realistic? Wouldn't it be better to have an energy bar?"

"Wait, why are you so excited?"

"All?"

System: "Oh, I'm watching a drama. Stop talking for now."

Matsue Shigure looked at the familiar characters and books in the comics and was silent for a moment: "What are you chasing after?"

The system didn't answer, but just made a few perfunctory noises: "Wow, it smells so good, turn the page quickly!"

Matsue Shigure: "???"

What is fragrant? Where is it fragrant? He wrote that he didn’t eat!

【December 26, snow】

Last year, we compared Akabane's cooling effect with natural cooling effect, and it turned out that Snow Flower was better.

The temperature is about the same this year, but I don’t have a new hand-knitted scarf. I don’t know where I lost the previous one.

I feel a little chilly, psychologically.

I should have known their strength for a long time, but when I really faced them, I still felt something was wrong...

The smell of blood is nauseating, and it's uncomfortable to block it out.

Fortunately, the group of evil wolves hiding in the dark have not yet tracked me down.

But I don't intend to sit and wait for death. Just like what you said, Akabane, you have no way out, and neither do I.

…

There was no water in the room, and Kenji Hagiwara's voice gradually became hoarse as he read his diary.

Every word written calmly in the book seemed to convey the breath of winter, making them feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

As expected, there were other manipulators behind the explosion!

Matsue Shigure has been tracking down that organization and has already fought with them in secret.

But no one could tell from those simple words what he wanted to do.

Only the bloody words that reflected their determination for revenge from beginning to end reminded them again and again that they would eventually fail.

******

bar.

Morobushi Kagemitsu: "I think you could explain things more clearly, Gin, instead of giving me a photo for no reason."

Zhu Fu Jingguang appeared calm on the surface, but he was the only one who knew that his scalp was tingling.

The uncertain premonition in his heart was like a prick of needles, making him restless.

Gin held a cigarette in his mouth and asked him, "I remember three years ago, your relationship with A was pretty good, right?"

"……?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang temporarily blocked out the face in the photo and recalled his impression of A.

He is gloomy, irritable, pale and thin. He never has a good face towards the members of the organization. He scolds everyone who comes. When he gets impatient, he dares to give up the task halfway through, which makes everyone feel difficult.

Morofushi Jingguang heard the members of the action team gritting their teeth and cursing A more than once. They basically said all kinds of rubbish and disgusting words.

And they can often achieve self-victory, successfully comforting themselves with a sentence like "that cripple will never be able to leave the organization in his lifetime anyway", and then go on to do other things complacently.

Morobushi Kagemitsu knew that given A's technical level and the extremely strict degree of control by the organization, what they said was not wrong to some extent.

No matter how pitiful A looks, he is still a sharp blade in the hands of the organization and may be aimed at them at any time.

But sometimes, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Zhu Fu Jingguang would inevitably feel a sense of grief for the loss of his loved ones.

As for ordinary days, when Bourbon and A are at loggerheads, Morofushi Jingguang will intentionally play the good guy, often taking advantage of the gap at the end of a round of verbal battles to ease the situation.

He naturally had the opportunity to get close to A and learn more about him.

Morofushi Jingguang still remembers that time when he passed by a bookstore and somehow saw a picture book of flowers on the table.

"Sir, which one would you like to choose?"

"Just pick the one with the highest sales volume."

"Then let's go for this one featuring the bird of paradise." The salesperson recommended it to him with a smile. "The bird of paradise flower is a symbol of freedom and happiness, just like the thousand paper cranes. If you draw it a few more times, good things will happen."

——In fact, this is the most expensive picture book on that table.

Freedom...

Morobushi Kagemitsu gave the picture book to A as a gift of apology for the quarrel with "Bourbon". The latter rarely suppressed his temper and softened his attitude towards him.

But the distance between them did not shorten. A still cautiously hid himself under a pile of disguises, revealing only a pair of blue eyes that were sparkling with light.

——Like a hedgehog alertly looking for food.

He took the opportunity to pretend to be casual and chat with A.

"Have you always been in the organization?"

“I don’t remember.”

"I think you should have a name, too."

"Why would I need something like that?" A was surprised, and said in a resigned tone, "I am A now."

"Hmm... what do you wish for?" Morofu Jingguang was choked by the indifferent question and subconsciously quoted the bookstore guide, "It is said that you can make a wish by drawing a bird of paradise."

A looked at him with strange eyes, as if to say, "Scotland, how could you believe this kind of marketing trick?"

But in the end, he answered slowly.

The blond young man sat back in his wheelchair and said in a lazy tone, "I wish... I could finish this game sooner? It's really tiring after all."

Morobushi Kagemitsu: "Hmm?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you." He flipped through the picture book casually and changed the subject, "...then leave this crappy place as soon as possible."

This time Zhufu Jingguang understood.

Later, when Zhufu Jingguang went to deliver medicine to A, he found a few pieces of paper with crooked drawings of birds of paradise on them among a table filled with a pile of messy items.

The painting is...quite personal.

…

"Three years ago, my relationship with him was pretty good."

Meeting Gin's gaze, Morobushi Kagemitsu gave a smile without any emotion: "After all, he is very useful, isn't he?"

"I'm not that guy from Bourbon, who makes the atmosphere so stiff on the surface."

Bermode smiled and said, "Scotland is really becoming more and more like Moriarty. I don't know why I assigned you to the action team back then. It was a waste of talent."

Damn Moriarty, damn waste!

Zhufu Jingguang: Take a deep breath.

Gin sneered: "It was very useful. He let the undercover go in front of so many people. He is really very useful."

Ambush·Undercover·Jingguang's heart skipped a beat.

He thought of his file which had been tampered with beyond all recognition.

*******

[March 28, rain]

The people from that organization are looking for a USB flash drive, and I can use it as bait to catch some big fish.

But before that, there is something else to do.

…

I chose to resign from the Explosion Team. It's really incompetent that I can't control my hand shaking when I see blood. If Akabane knew about this, he would probably beat me up, right?

Forget it, he can’t beat me, haha!

[March 30, sunny]

I saw a kid who looked very similar to Akabane, named Kenji Hagiwara, and I was a little worried that the organization would attack him.

It's just a short period of time, so don't let anything go wrong.

Instructor Onizuka knew that I was going back to work, so he went to buy blood pressure-lowering medicine overnight.

Regarding the USB flash drive, I plan to make two preparations. I guess the police will also need this information?

Although I think the police leaders are not trustworthy either.

…

As the pages turned, the timeline of the diary gradually approached their memories. Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei stood close together, watching their information appear for the first time.

Instead of feeling happy, they felt a sense of unreality, as if they were floating on a cloud.

Onizuka Hachizo was standing nearby, and he was so angry that he almost punched the table.

"That bastard!" His lips couldn't stop trembling, and he cursed after a long while, "Why don't you go to the hospital for a hand tremor? Why don't you treat it?!"

"Calm down, calm down." Date Kou quickly patted him on the back, "Instructor Onitsuka, you really don't need to take blood pressure medicine."

Onitsuka Hachizo raised his voice: "You are talking nonsense! How can I buy blood pressure medicine overnight!"

Date Hang: "Okay, okay, no."

Kenji Hagiwara stared at the diary, his expression changing from serious to bewildered. He subconsciously said "Ah", "I was almost targeted by that organization?"

Is this the organization where Kojiro is an undercover agent?

Is it because of this reason that Matsue Shigure went to the police academy to protect him?

Feelings are not what he thought before, those...

Matsuda Jinpei looked at his increasingly strange expression, and couldn't help but frowned, and consoled him: "It's been seven or eight years, they shouldn't be targeting you, Hagi."

Hagiwara Kenji suddenly realized, "I'm not worried about that."

Matsuda Jinpei: "So what are you thinking about?"

He is thinking about his face!

It's really confusing to think how much Akabane-senpai looks like him to have such a wide impact!

Hagiwara Kenji choked, pointed at the note above, and changed the subject: "Does this mean that Instructor Songjiang has also contacted the police?"

"I don't know." Onitsuka Hachizo said bluntly, "Although I didn't get involved in this, Tokyo went through a major reshuffle a few years ago, and there were a lot of personnel changes. If you don't have a channel, you'd better not act rashly."

[Akabane, Akabane, instructor, you love him so much!! (screaming at the top of her lungs) What kind of revenge drama is this? I’m really fed up with the senior team!!]

[Just now——Instructor Onizuka: He has never mistaken you! Hagiwara Kenji (on the surface): Yeah, right, right; (actually) Do you think I believe it?

Now——Instructor Matsue is here for Kenji Hagiwara! (Tactical retreat)]

[OMG, there's a dog!]

[What is Kenji's expression? I won't tell you]

[I feel a little sad to see Instructor Songjiang resign. He must have really liked this job... His hands trembled when he saw blood. Is that really a symptom left over from the last explosion?]

[After all, his only partner died in his arms. He could only watch the blood cool down little by little. The darkness swallowed up all life, and he——had no way to do anything.]

[Help! The knife jumped up and hit me! ! ]

[For revenge... so when he was in the police academy, Instructor Songjiang had been fighting the organization? He even contacted the police, trying to use a USB drive to lure out the organization's people and die together! !]

[This USB drive should be very important, right? Think about the characters that appear in the organization... If the instructor's plan succeeds, Conan's main storyline may not be able to unfold.]

[Wuwuwu, but he failed! Not only did he fail at the last hurdle, but he even lost himself in the field he was most familiar with!]

[I really want to know what happened to the explosion that caused the police academy team and instructor Songjiang to fail (prepare to cry in advance)]

[If Akabane knew all this...]

[Fuck, there’s a devil upstairs?!]

[Wow wow hahaha I couldn't help it, I touched it quickly. Collection cough cough cough! CP is optional! The scale is a bit large, the following link——]

[Oh oh oh oh oh! Madam, thank you for your hard work in coming down to earth! ]

*****

"Click! Click! Hurry up!"

"Fuck you, you big-headed ghost!" Matsue Shigure closed the comic book and wished he could pull out the system in his mind and give it a beating.

The system said with regret: "This is just curiosity."

Songjiang Shigure couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He must be out of his mind to click on something that will obviously make him socially dead beyond belief, okay?

He really didn't know how his apparently normal best friend's revenge story could be turned into something so outrageous on the forum? ! !

——It seems like there’s nothing wrong with the police academy team!

Is this the dimension difference? ?

Just bear with it, Songjiang Shiyu comforted himself. Anyway, there were no such perverts around him. Once he finished the game, he would be fine...

System: “Hey hey hey~”

Songjiang Shigure couldn't help punching the pillow and yelling at it: "Can you be more normal!"

The system coughed quickly and said, "I'm normal! Did you really go to the police academy for this matter?"

Songjiang Shiyu suddenly said in a surprised tone, "Tongjie, tell me honestly, is your database missing?"

System·Reading the forum and seeing the idiot·Tong: "Huh?"

Songjiang Shigure said in shock: "Wake up! When I logged into the main game, wasn't I already an instructor?"

System: “Oh yeah…wait, why did you make this up too?”

The characters have already been established, but they are still writing more. Are they really planning to write the diary as a book until the end? ?

Songjiang Shiyu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I am addicted to acting. Isn't this... a beginning and an end!"

Honestly, who would play this kind of game if they didn't have a bit of a dramatic spirit?

And because this is a strategy role-playing game, after the role-playing is completed, Songjiang Shigure is still thinking about the strategy - such as filling up the teacher-student relationship and so on.

So in the diary, there are quite a lot of things about the police academy team...

"I wanted to write a diary in the second round, but I thought A's temper might not be so patient..." Matsue Shigure said with some regret, "I almost wrote an electronic diary."

Thinking back to the current situation where a diary can become a mess -

System: "You should be glad you didn't write it!"

*****

[April 28, rain]

They don't have many days to stay in school! It's either a robbery or a kidnapping, and Instructor Onitsuka's punishments are useless.

Is this what is called the changing fortunes?

But it’s too dangerous, really too dangerous!

Neither their own strength nor their awareness of the crisis is enough to support them in taking such actions.

I have to think of a solution. I don't have that much time to take care of it.

——Why does Hagiwara Kenji like to go out and socialize so much? ! *

Onizuka Hachizo empathized with him: "It turns out that Matsue also knows that fortune changes."

Hagiwara Kenji, who was being cueed alone: ​​"..."

For some reason, he felt guilty when he looked at the words.

[September 3, sunny]

They will graduate next month with grades that are barely up to standard.

Furuya Rei and Date Kou are more versatile, and the others have their own plans. Hagiwara chose the Explosion Team, but according to his thinking, this should not be a stable job?

Akabane said that I should prepare gifts and greeting cards for graduation. Where did I put the Rubik's Cube I received at that time?

Anyway, they probably didn't look too happy to receive it from me.

But it doesn’t matter. I am lucky to see them graduate.

By the time the gifts are given out, the time is almost up, so you must carry the USB drive with you.

It would be great if I could catch a few more big fish. It would be great if I could kill as many as I can. My life is worthless anyway.

…

The diary ends here and the rest is blank. Fortunately, the diary has reached the last few pages, so it is not wasted.

Kenji Hagiwara smoothed out the wrinkles, closed the diary, and pushed the past back into the darkness.

He felt as if his chest was being pulled down by a hand, and he couldn't breathe.

Where is the Rubik's Cube? Did Instructor Songjiang forget that he gave him the Rubik's Cube?

Kenji Hagihara still remembers the scene.

At that time, he handed the self-criticism to Songjiang Shigure with a dejected look on his face, repenting that he should not have driven across the bridge to save people, but he thought in his heart that if he encountered such a dangerous situation next time, he would do the same thing again.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his blond instructor who was reluctant to reflect on himself, and for once said nothing.

He placed the review on the table and threw a tiny three-dimensional Rubik's Cube into his arms.

Hagiwara Kenji hurriedly caught the Rubik's Cube and looked at him in confusion.

"This is for you." The instructor said lightly.

He actually sent away his past.

…

Kenji Hagiwara looked outside and saw that the sunlight had been blocked by a thick layer of clouds and the sky had become gloomy - it was going to rain.

——Matsue Shigure did not see them graduate.

They seemed to glimpse from between the lines a grand tragedy that disappeared into the shadows and was unknown to anyone.

In the last few months, Matsue Shigure did not mention "Akabane" many times. Instead, there were more and more traces of them, even in the diary where he reviewed each punishment and self-criticism.

He seemed to be gradually coming out of the past, yet seemed to be sinking deeper into it.

If Subaru Akabane caught the bird flying freely in the sky, then they are the exquisite cage where the bird in the cage finally rests.

The instructor Songjiang, who seemed cold and indifferent to everyone on weekdays and would only bring up old issues for no reason, had actually made all the preparations in private.

He punished them to write self-criticisms. On the one hand, it was because of what Onizuka Hachizo said, that he hoped they would handle the situation more carefully and not have time to go out and have fun. But there was also a part of selfish motive.

[It feels good to be an instructor. It's interesting to see the pain on those guys' faces when they write their self-criticisms. It's a pity that I can only be an instructor for a few months.]

[I hope their future is bright enough, at least they can go further than the two of us. ]

Yi Dahang closed his eyes slightly: "It turns out that regardless of whether there was an accident or not... he would not come to my wedding."

The only empty seat at the wedding that was attended by everyone that year was now filled by the truth, but it left a bigger void in their hearts.

"But because of that explosion, he lost everything he had worked so hard on for so many years."

*****

Gin's tone was very cold: "If it weren't for him, our plan wouldn't have failed!"

"What?"

Vermouth regained her composure. She glanced at the gloomy Gin and said to Morobushi Kagemitsu, "You probably don't know what happened to the organization in recent years, right? A was executed by Gin himself two years ago for betraying the organization."

"Of course, now it looks like... um, someone has failed again."

Execution?!

Zhu Fu Jingguang's breathing stagnated. He slowly frowned, trying to gather more details of his emotions: "You haven't said which undercover agent it is. Judging from your attitude, it should be someone I know."

Bermode curled his lips and said, "Of course you know him. Rye Whiskey. His real name is Akai Shuichi. He is an undercover agent of the FBI."

"A helped him escape from the organization, but unfortunately... he couldn't escape himself."

***

Zhu Fu Jingguang almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Rye whiskey is an undercover agent?!

You have to know that at that time, he, Zero and Rye Whiskey worked in the same action team, and he and Zero were both undercover agents of the public security infiltrated organization.

Therefore, they also targeted rye whiskey, the "only" member of the organization, many times.

Turns out he's also an undercover agent?!

Three out of three? Not a single real member. No wonder the organization's boss asked him to go back to Japan to investigate the undercover situation...

Zhu Fu Jingguang forced himself to calm down.

It doesn’t matter whether Rye Whiskey is an undercover agent or not. What matters is why A helped him betray the organization and even died at the hands of Gin!

And at the beginning——

His eyes fell on the photo, and he felt his heartbeat appear in his ears for some reason, becoming clearer and more piercing.

He couldn't imagine...

"Now that we have explained the cause and effect, Gin, it's time for you to get down to business."

Vermouth kicked Gin's trousers with the tip of his shoe and said in a complaining tone: "I didn't know you had this kind of relationship with A."

Gin picked up the photo again, and as he moved, the ashes floated onto the photo, making it look gray.

"So, I also regret not shooting him directly at that time." He took a puff of cigarette and said sarcastically, "After all, this was one of the twin bomb-disposal stars that the cops had high hopes for."

"But I have the chance to kill him once, twice, a third time... naturally no exception!"

Instructor Songjiang...is he really A?

Zhufu Jingguang only felt a sudden bloody taste in his mouth, which rushed straight into his brain, making his vision black and his head dizzy.

******

Ten years ago, there were not so many official agencies targeting the organization, and the organization was in a stage of rampant expansion.

They frantically merged small forces, and used intimidation or money to bribe people of all kinds from the powerful and wealthy circles into their hands bit by bit.

The most effective and least exposed means of intimidation are naturally sniping or bombs.

The "Shibuya bombing" that enveloped the entire Shibuya district of Tokyo for a whole year was naturally the work of the organization.

But in addition to encircling people, the organization also wants to use this opportunity to eliminate several troubles.

For example, some police officers who stood out in the police academy, or... a traitor who betrayed the organization.

Gin doesn't remember what happened to Subaru Akabane. He can never remember information about dead people.

In short, the spike planted by the organization into the police academy showed signs of rebellion before he even graduated. He repeatedly shirked the organization's tasks and became inseparable from his classmates.

After graduation, Subaru Akabane directly cut off ties with the organization and became a righteous bomb disposal police officer. He also teamed up with a target that another organization wanted to get rid of, openly causing trouble for the organization.

The organization would naturally not let such a traitor go, but no one knew what means that guy had used to escape from the assassination countless times.

He also tried to obtain information about the distribution of organization members in Tokyo, and tried to use this as a bargaining chip to let him return to a peaceful life.

That information was extremely important to the organization that was just beginning to build its base in Tokyo; exposing it would be like starting over from scratch.

The organization agreed on the surface, but in fact it secretly planned the outcome of the "Shibuya bombing" and wanted to bury all this chaos in a sea of ​​fire.

But unfortunately, although Subaru Akabane died, his partner, Shigure Matsue, is still alive.

Unlike Subaru Akabane, Matsue Shigure seemed to be stimulated by the explosion and his temperament changed drastically. Not only did he specialize in dangerous bomb disposal sites, but he also resigned due to illness and went to work in the police academy.

The former gave the organization hope that he would commit suicide on his own initiative, while the latter made it difficult for the organization to take action.

Fortunately, the people they had planted at the public security department did not receive any information, proving that the USB flash drive was not exposed.

Gin was just recalled from abroad by the boss at that time, and the first task he accepted was to find Matsue Shigure and take the USB flash drive back from him, or better yet, kill him directly.

"Judging from Matsue Shigure's behavior, he should be a relatively easy person to deal with. GIN, you'd better confirm the location of the USB drive before killing him. If he refuses to confess, you can bring him back and interrogate him."

…

Gin squinted his eyes and looked at the photo. The young man in the picture had a brilliant smile, which was different from the cold and gloomy look he saw in the sea of ​​fire, and also different from the irritable and crazy look he had in the organization.

But every time, no matter what state Matsue Shigure was in, he could easily stir up his emotions.

Even now, when Gin thinks about his first mission, he can't help but feel murderous.

That was the first time that Gin was forced to cooperate in bomb disposal in a sea of ​​fire, risking his life.

The reckless guy, with the gun pointed at his head, immediately took out handcuffs and handcuffed them both together.
